Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss based on the audiometric test results showing no worse than Level I hearing acuity in both ears, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a higher rating as the Veteran’s hearing loss was shown to be noncompensably disabling during the appeal period.
